In the proper context of Psalms 8, the writer is in blessed bewilderment of how such a righteous God could be so mindful of man, that HE has given dominion and authority of the whole earth, yet man is such a sinner, yet God still holds His created man as important to Him. I believe this is such a great example of God's grace in the OT. How "grace" is not some new thing that God developed in the New Testament times, but He has always been loving and gracious to us.
